Chapter 1426: Chapter 700: Escape! The Chaotic White Elephant City!_2

In the end, only the black-clad leader remained.

“You are indeed formidable,” the black-clad figure said, “but you can’t always be this lucky.”

Before he finished speaking, the black-clad man suddenly pulled out a dagger from his chest and stabbed at Luo Chen.

Seeing this, Qing Shuang hurriedly intervened, but was still a step too late. The dagger slashed Luo Chen’s shoulder.

Enduring the pain, Luo Chen struck the black-clad man’s chest with his palm, sending him flying.

The black-clad man fell to the ground, struggled a few tis, and then lay still.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, seeing exhaustion and relief in each other’s eyes.

They knew that although this battle was tough, they had won once again.

“Let’s go,” Luo Chen said, “let’s leave this place first.”

Qing Shuang nodded, and the two supported each other as they walked toward the exit of Heifeng Ridge.

As Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s footsteps drew closer to the exit of Heifeng Ridge, their mood beca increasingly heavy.

Although they had overco nurous crises, the treacherous environnt of Heifeng Ridge and unknown enemies kept them from completely lowering their guard.

They knew that only by truly leaving this perilous place could they consider themselves truly safe.

The light at the exit gradually beca brighter, and Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quickened their pace.

Finally, not long after.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang left the eerie and strange Heifeng Ridge.

Subsequently, they returned to White Elephant City.

“Hey hey hey, what’s your business?”

“This is White Elephant City, if you want to enter, you need to queue.”

At the gate of White Elephant City.

Two soldiers guarding the city said this to Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, understanding that having survived the ordeals of Heifeng Ridge and safely returning to White Elephant City was lucky.

They said nothing more and silently lined up at the back of the queue.

The queue moved slowly, and finally, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang arrived at the city gate.

The city-guarding soldiers scrutinized them, seemingly confirming whether they were residents of the city or had any suspicious aspects.

Luo Chen took out a token from his chest and handed it to the soldier.

“This is my identity token, we are residents of White Elephant City, just out on business, and now we’ve returned.” Luo Chen said calmly.

The soldier took the token, carefully checked it, and after confirming it was correct, returned it to Luo Chen and signaled that they could enter the city.

“Go in, but rember, the city hasn’t been peaceful lately, so be careful.” the soldier reminded.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang nodded in thanks, then entered White Elephant City.

The city was still bustling, with people coming and going on the streets, and rchants’ cries echoing one after another.

However, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang could sense an unusual tension in the atmosphere.

“It seems sothing has indeed happened in the city,” Qing Shuang said softly.

“Let’s find a place to settle down, then gather so information,” Luo Chen suggested.

They found a relatively quiet inn and booked a room.

After settling down, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang began to inquire about the city’s news.

After so inquiries, they learned that recently a mysterious force had appeared in the city, causing chaos everywhere, with rumors even suggesting this force was linked to the evil forces of Heifeng Ridge.

“It seems we can’t let our guard down,” Luo Chen said with a furrowed brow.

“Yes, we need to be more careful,” Qing Shuang agreed.

They decided to rest for the night and plan for the next day.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang each ditated in the inn, regulating their breath to recover strength.

Early the next morning, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang got up and prepared to visit the city’s intelligence agency to gather more information.

Just as they stepped out of the inn, they saw a group of people in official uniforms rushing by.

“Sothing seems to have happened over there,” Qing Shuang pointed to the group and said.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang followed, noticing they were heading toward the city center.

The two quickened their pace, following closely to see what had occurred.

Upon reaching the city center, they saw a crowd gathered, with a middle-aged man in official attire loudly announcing sothing in the middle.

“Residents of White Elephant City, recently so lawless elents have appeared in the city, causing disturbances and disrupting order.”

“To maintain peace in the city, we have decided to increase patrols imdiately and offer rewards for capturing these lawless individuals.”

The middle-aged man declared loudly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged looks, seemingly surprised that so much chaos had occurred in White Elephant City after they left for such a short ti.

“Perhaps we can join the governnt’s action,” Luo Chen suggested.

“Good idea, this way we can help restore order in the city and investigate the mysterious force,” Qing Shuang agreed.

So, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang approached the governnt officials and explained their identities and intentions.

After so investigation and confirmation, the governnt decided to accept them into the action.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were assigned to a team responsible for patrolling the city and gathering intelligence.

They began moving around the city, maintaining order while seeking out information.

During their patrols, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang discovered so suspicious clues that seed to point to a mysterious organization in the city.

They decided to delve deeper into the investigation, hoping to locate the organization’s base.

After days of effort, they finally found a suspicious location.

It was an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city in a secluded corner.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang decided to infiltrate and investigate during the quiet of night.

As night fell, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang quietly approached the warehouse.

They carefully avoided the guards and slipped inside. The warehouse was dim and damp, filled with a decaying sll in the air.

They searched the warehouse ticulously and finally discovered a secret door in a hidden corner.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a glance and cautiously opened the secret door.

Behind the secret door was a long passageway, with faint light appearing at the end.

They proceeded along the passage and finally arrived at a spacious underground chamber.

In the chamber, a group of black-clad individuals were busy with sothing.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang hid in the shadows, observing that these black-clad figures were making so strange pills.

“Could it be the strength-enhancing drugs Bai Yifeng was making?” Luo Chen was startled.

They decided to keep watching in hopes of finding more clues.

At that mont, one of the black-clad figures noticed their presence and shouted, “Soone’s here!”

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang imdiately realized their cover was blown. They quickly leapt out from the shadows, ready to face the impending confrontation.

The black-clad figures were evidently unprepared for intruders, causing a brief mont of panic.

“Catch them quickly!”

A leader-like figure among the black-clad people shouted, and the others drew their weapons, surrounding Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

Luo Chen drew the longsword at his waist, while Qing Shuang wielded her Qing Shuang Sword, standing back-to-back, ready to fight.

The battle was imminent, sword light and blade glint entangled in the dim underground chamber.

Luo Chen’s swordsmanship was extrely fierce, each strike aid at the enemy’s vital points, while Qing Shuang’s swordsmanship was agile and graceful, like her nasake, the sword light like frost wherever it passed, black-clad figures fell one after another.

However, the black-clad figures were nurous, seemingly unafraid of death, and kept charging forward.

Although Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were very powerful, the prolonged fight gradually wore them down.

“This can’t go on, we have to find their weakness.”

Luo Chen said to Qing Shuang during a brief confrontation pause.

Qing Shuang nodded, her eyes quickly scanning the darkness for any possible breakthrough.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on those black-clad figures making pills.

“Their pills!”

Qing Shuang reminded Luo Chen loudly, “If we can destroy those pills, maybe we can distract them.”

Luo Chen imdiately understood Qing Shuang’s aning, and the two swiftly changed tactics, no longer directly confronting the black-clad figures but using flexible movent techniques to advance towards where the pills were being made.
